Product Information

Full details

The Thor Super Plastic Split Head Hammer is designed for industrial professionals and mechanics who require a powerful striking tool that won't damage delicate or finished surfaces. Its key benefit lies in the replaceable super plastic faces that offer a firm strike while preventing marring, though the split-head construction requires periodic maintenance to ensure fasteners remain tight during high-impact tasks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects finished surfaces from damage
  • Easily replaceable components
  • Durable cast iron head construction
  • Faces can be rotated to extend usage
  • Heavy-duty build quality for industrial use

Cons

  • Requires periodic checking of socket head screws
  • Heavier than standard rubber mallets
  • Plastic faces may degrade over long-term exposure to extreme heat

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the hammer is straightforward: ensure the super plastic faces are seated deeply into the head before tightening the socket head cap screws. Use a compatible hex key to secure the faces, ensuring they are flush against the cast iron body. To maintain the tool, regularly inspect the socket head screws for signs of vibration-induced loosening, especially after prolonged heavy-duty use. Keep the plastic faces free from grease or oil to prevent slippage during strikes. When the faces eventually show significant wear or deformities, simply unscrew the cap screws, remove the old faces, and slide in new replacements. Store the hammer in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the cast iron head.
